Zelenskiy Land Can Only Be Discussed at Trilateral Summit
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in Brussels on Sunday that any negotiations to end the war with Russia should begin from the existing front lines, underscoring that an immediate ceasefire is a prerequisite for a lasting settlement. He added that the position has backing from several European leaders who will join him in a virtual meeting later in the day. Zelenskiy stressed that broader territorial questions can only be addressed at a future trilateral summit and not under "the pressure of weapons." He insisted that genuine talks must occur at the frontier and focus first on securing a halt in hostilities before a final agreement is drafted. The Ukrainian leader is scheduled to travel to Washington on Monday for talks with U.S. President Donald Trump, following Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Zelenskiy said U.S. involvement remains critical to any peace process and that Kyiv is still reviewing Moscow’s demands raised during the Alaska meeting.
